I was thinking that further and they would say “well foreign visitors can drive on our road and don’t pay taxes”, to which my thought is “yes, but we have bilateral agreements for certain countries which convey certain privileges, please show us your agreement or visa to be in this country”
Right - those visitors either have a passport and were granted permission to enter for a set period of time, or they too would be picked up and deported back to their country.
There's a lot of rabbit holes that I can see people with poor reasoning/logic getting stuck down, but this one seems pretty easy to explain....
The do pay taxes. The rental vehicle they use is registered and taxed. Most regions have a tax on the rental fees as well. The gas they use has taxes included.
Even more straight forward and valid points.
I 'get' the "oh you are flying the wrong flag so you aren't the boss of me" desperate misinterpretations of semi-related laws. It's stupid, but it takes time to explain and honestly it takes a fair amount of trust in a system that usually is working against them (because they are deadbeat parents or idiots who don't want to pay taxes).
The driving thing is so straight forward you could explain it to a 6 year old.
